Has someone mention previously about what seems to be like a ring inside the wheels that makes you think something is rubbing?? I can't seem to find that post, unless I'm in the wrong thread.

I've check my tires/wheels as they are spinning (at low speeds), going straight, turning right, turning left and I still can't figure out how I'm getting that damn ring. Any ideas?? I know it's rubbing, but on what???????

If the ring you're referring to is on the rear, I would guess its dust inside the wheel rubbing against the turnbuckle link connected to the rear upright. The clearance can be tight in that area on some vehicles. A little dremel action can free up some room.

One-Eighth Racers have approved electric racing on Saturdays at Woodville Mall, Northwood Ohio. First activity tentatively will be Saturday April 16th test and tune. Pat from the Toledo Hobby Stop will be managing electrics. Race Schedule/details coming soon. Looks like 1/8th buggy based GT, VTA, stock and mod sedan. Track is first class, permanent, painted infield, 200' straight and has a very tall driver's stand. Fast GT nitro lap time is 24 seconds. Aero view of track is on this page:http://www.racersoftoledo.com/photo_gallery.html

It's actually in the front but I just can't figure it out. I see no evidence of the wheel rubbing on any part but I'll look again with some better lighting.

If it's on the inside part of the tire surface then it's called the Ring of Death. It happens on all scales running rubber tires. There's too much camber and/or the insert is too soft allowing the side wall the roll/fold over. Also seen it in cars with too much toe.

The clearance is good to go when the vehicle isn't moving....perhaps the rub mark came at a time when you were durability testing the car or hit a dot and the wheel flexed. Therefore causing the camber link to rub. It's a perfect circle as it was rubbing on one point while the wheel was spinning?

This is my best educated guess.

Hope to see you guys in H.B in 2 weeks. I know my son Jaiden can't wait for Gearbox.

What fluid wt is used in the front/rear diffs and shocks when shipped from factory for this kit?

It lists 40wt in the manual for shocks but no information on the diffs.

I can't access the manual on-line but the OFNA DM-1 Spec looks very similar, that manual states front diff 100k and the rear diff 50k. When you look at your manual check the fine print when they are showing how to put the diffs together, it may be in that section. Sorry I can't do more. Good Luck!

My gtp2e had grease in the rear diff and something like 10k in the front.

What ride height are you guys using ??
What over ride height droop are you using ??

Thanks

Looked at the two manuals that came with the car and the ofna.com site and it just says apply grease 2/3rd full. Suspect it is 3-5k range as the 100k (front) & 30k (rear) I put back in was thicker then molasses.
